Deuteronomy 28:30 NIV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

We now come to the commencement of the third discourse of Moses. It was pre-eminently the uttering of solemn warnings in which he laid before the people the results of disobedience and rebellion. He spoke first, however, of the blessings which would follow obedience. They were to have national pre-eminence. Temporal blessings of all kinds would abound. They were to have victory over their enemies in time of war. The purpose of their King, Jehovah, it was plainly declared, was to fill them with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:15-68

The Cursings That Will Result If They Are Not Faithful To The Covenant (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 ). But once they wander outside the sphere of the covenant only cursings can await them. They will have put themselves in the same place as that already taken by those whom they had cursed in Deuteronomy 27:15-26. Those examples were but samples of a wider Law, a Law which they would now have broken. Thus they have by their ‘Amen’ themselves acknowledged that it will be right for Yahweh to curse them.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 28:30-31

The Third Sixfold Curse (Deuteronomy 28:30-31 ). This is then followed by a further sixfold curse divided into three and three, the first three patterned on ‘you will -- and’, the last three patterned on ‘your -- and’. This third set of curses refers to what have been called ‘futility curses’ where the proper enjoyment of something is not experienced but is frustrated by circumstances. Deuteronomy 28:30-31 ‘You will betroth a wife, and another man will lie with her; You will build a house,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:1-68

CRITICAL NOTES.—Moses now enlarges and gives the blessings and curses in detail (cf. Exodus 23:20-23 and Leviticus 26:0.) The blessings are declared in fourteen verses; the curses require nearly four times as many. Thus here again the curse is the more conspicuous feature in the law Speak. Com. Obedience the condition of blessing and this is repeated at beginning (Deuteronomy 28:2) middle (29) and close (Deuteronomy 28:13-14) in positive and energetic form.Deuteronomy 28:1-6. Blessings actual... read more

Deuteronomy 28:5 . Blessed shall be thy basket. The LXX read, thy barns and thy store. Deuteronomy 28:24 . The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust. Our oriental travellers say in succession, that when hurricanes happen in the sandy deserts, they carry the fine sands high in the air, and rain on cities and villages the dust, which penetrates every corner of the houses where the air has access. They often bury camels and asses in the deserts, and form ridges and hills... read more

Ver. 30. Thou shalt built a house, &c. ] A great aggravation of a man’s misery it is, to fall from high hopes, to fail of large expectations, as Haman did, and Absalom, and Alexander the Great, and Tamerlane, who preparing to perfect his conquest of the Greek Empire, and having given a... read more
